LinkedIn’s Cliff Rosenberg reveals Australian launch team

Business networking site LinkedIn has rapidly grown its Australian start up team to six with a series of new hires, Mumbrella can reveal.

As part of the new set-up, LinkedIn will now take its Australian advertising sales in-house, although Ad2One will continue to represent it in the New Zealand market.

The new appointments by managing director Cliff Rosenberg include:  

• Sales Director Australia & NZ: Stuart Bartram, who was previously head of business consulting at strategic search consultancy FirstClick. Before that, he worked in a variety of roles for DoubleClick, which is owned by Google;
• Account director Australia & NZ: David Nemes, previously sales and marketing director at ExtraCorp which owns among other things sports site FootyTips. Before that he was a media strategist at digital agency Bullseye;
• Enterprise Sales Manager, Australia & NZ: Mark Dick, previously NSW/ACT state sales manager at Fairfax Media, where he worked since 2006 in business development and sales roles. Before that, he worked in the recruitment industry;
• SMB Sales Manager, Australia & NZ: Adam Gregory, previously sales manager at Adlogic. Before that he worked at software company H4 Group, for which he set up the Australian office in November 2005. His career also began in recruitment.

The four appointments follow the announcement earlier this year of Steve Barham as director of recruitment solutions for the business networking website. Barham has moved across from the US offices of LinkedIn.
